iOS 16 Changes, Secret ‘Mass Surveillance’ Tool Targets iPhones, iPhone 14 Plus Leaks

**Apple Watch Pro and iPhone 13 Series Design**

Whether or not we're gonna have a flat display on this Apple Watch Pro, and it's going to be interesting to see what Apple actually does here because it's really been kind of 50/50 both ways. So we do know for sure pretty much that a more rugged bigger Apple Watch is coming as a separate variation of the Series Eight. We just don't know for sure if it's gonna have those flat edges like the iPhone 13 series and presumably the iPhone 14 series as well.

**M2 MacBook Pros**

Mark German, recently said that the M2 Pro and M2 Max chips are "well into development" and that they can still be released as early as this fall. Of course, they can get pushed back due to supply chain issues, but as we know from the previous episode, mass production of these MacBooks will begin in the fourth quarter, so I would say that there's a pretty good chance we're gonna get those M2 MacBook Pros this year.

**Apple Care Lawsuit**

I talked about this before, but now payments are actually starting to go out, and what I'm referring to is the huge $95 million dollar Apple Care lawsuit against Apple. This lawsuit was filed several years ago, you know over sending users replacements that were basically just refurbished models, and not new models even though Apple said in their terms that they're gonna replace their device with a brand new product but it wasn't, and they got sued. So Apple was found at fault and after loyal fees, they're now paying between $63 and $68 million dollars, and it's going to be dispersed amongst customers who've had a device replaced via AppleCare since July 20th, 2012.

**Mass Surveillance Tool**

So if you ever got a device replaced since 2012, you're probably gonna get some free money. Those eligible are now receiving emails from the law firm Higgins Berman informing them of their payment ready to be collected, and the amount's going to vary based on the number of devices that you actually had replaced by Apple but it looks like it's gonna be $14.45 per device. But hey, it's free money, so go claim it.

**Secret iPhone Tracking Tool**

According to a recent report from The Associated Press, quote law enforcement agencies from Southern California to North Carolina have been using an obscure cell phone tracking tool at times without search warrants that gives them the power to follow people's movements months back in time. And they do this with a tool called Fog Reveal, which gets advertising identification numbers from apps like Starbucks and Waze, and from that they can see targeted ads based on a person's location and interests.

**Hoarding iPhones**

The latest development is that a new sealed iPhone 2G (the original iPhone) just sold at auction for over $35,000. And here's the listing of the completed auction, and you can see this is the rare non-iTunes store version which is the early batch of iPhone 2Gs they all shipped out without the iTunes store on there because it didn't exist.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys my name is brandon and welcome back to apple weekly this past week was interesting because we not only got what should be the final ios 16 beta but we also got a rare ios 12 update for older devices so we're going to talk about both of those things along with some huge iphone 14 and apple watch pro leaks when to expect the m2 macbook pros details on a tool that allowed law enforcement to track your iphone without a search warrant how much a sealed iphone 2g just sold for at auction and more and as always if you guys want to stay updated with all things apple make sure to click that subscribe button down below so you don't miss next week's episode so let's start with the most unexpected release from this past week and that is ios 12.5.6 that's right so this new update was pushed out for the iphone 6 iphone 5s and all other devices that are not supported with ios 13. and for those keeping count that is over nine years of support for a phone that is so impressive to me and something i don't believe any other company is doing for a mobile operating system but anyways this update was pushed out to patch up the same webkit vulnerability that was patched in the recent ios 15.6.1 update now this update did not patch the dangerous kernel bug that was also fixed in 15.6.1 but that's because ios 12 was not susceptible to that vulnerability just the webkit one so if you have one of these older iphones like the iphone 6 or iphone 5s or the older ipads or ipod touches get to updating to keep your device as secure as possible and then let's talk about ios 16 beta 8 which is the latest beta for the next major ios release and most likely the final beta before the rc build which is the final version for beta testers so the only thing that i found that was changed in this eighth beta is inside of settings general software updates and now says ios 16.0 instead of just saying 16.0 so for whatever reason on the past few betas ios was missing there and it just said 16.0 and it said the ios is up to date right underneath so that's a very minor change but that's pretty much the only thing changed on the front end now there were small code changes to watch faces and the photos application according to steve moser on twitter who shared those details but nothing else on at the front end now one thing that i mentioned in my what's new video is that when we go to our dynamic wallpapers shortcut right here which is basically where you set a wallpaper via a shortcut and now it works properly and changes the wallpaper for the home screen and not just the lock screen well i also found that now the automation works properly so now at sunrise the automation will run and it will actually change the wallpaper for the home screen now as well so i didn't mention that before but that automation should finally be up and working now on ios 16. and i say that because on beta 7 it would sometimes work but sometimes it just would not change the wallpaper at all or it would change it to a full-on just black screen but as far as anything else goes a development ended a couple of weeks back for ios 16.0 so you're really not expecting to see anything until 16.1 so only small changes you know to like the verbiage like the ius added right there or small code changes that's really all you can expect in this eighth beta and same with the rc we may see a few things added in the code for the rc but i wouldn't expect anything major and then in the code for ipad os 16.1 which is going to have a lot of the same attributes as ios 16.1 beta we did see some references to a new charging option with the acronym cec now this could be related to the new quote exclusive battery accessory that was reported by leaker yo112 and we'll talk more about that a little bit later but basically he's saying that this could be a new version of the magsafe battery pack so that could be what that cec stands for in the code for 16.1 and then we did also see the apple started removing references to the ipod touch so that kind of just eliminates our hopes of getting one last ipod this year i saw some people saying that we could see a new ipod at the end of this year but that's highly unlikely now that apple is removing all of the references to the ipod touch and when it comes to bugs on ios 16 i'm really not having too many other bugs other than what i already mentioned in my what's new video for beta 8. so of course i'm having this issue right here where the now playing platter on the lock screen will just show up as blank or sometimes it'll be abnormally large like go up to here even though it's just a regular song so really i'm only having issues with really minor ui you know things on the lock screen like the now playing platter so really nothing to complain about in terms of bugs here late into the ios 16 and beta cycle and at this point i would not really expect any bugs to be fixed even with the final release i think that's going to come in the incremental updates after this and same goes with the performance and battery life i'm not going to just sit here and keep repeating myself over and over everything is the same as i said in my beta 8 what's new video nothing has changed since that video performance and battery life are solid but you know they're not quite on par with ios 15 just yet that's expected i would not expect any enhancements to come to the battery life of performance until like i mentioned the incremental updates like the 16.1 16.2 updates all right so now let's talk about what to expect next from apple and we have now entered the greatest month of the year september so let's talk about what to expect next so of course as we know the seventh right there on wednesday is apple's big iphone event so after that event is when i expect to see ios 16 rc or release candidate i expect that to be released for both developers and public beta testers and i think we'll see the final the following week so we should see that on either the 12th or the 13th i think the 14th is possible but that would be the very latest we would see the official final release released to the public and then later on in that week on the 16th is when i would expect to see the iphone 14 apple watch series 8 and whatever else apple introduces i expect that to get released later that week now as far as ipad os 16 and mac os ventura those are not coming until october so don't get your hopes up for ipad os or mac os updates those are both coming the following month next month in october alright so now let's move on to the juicy stuff let's talk about the latest apple news and let's start off with the iphone 14 because we have quite a few new leaks to discuss just days away from the grand reveal so a lot of these leaks come courtesy of yo one one two two on the korean blog navir and he cites his source as a quote u.s developer so obviously you know take these with a grain of salt but they appear pretty realistic and they came out pretty late which is always you know kind of indicative of something being more legit but anyways he lays out the summary of the new iphone 14 features so first off he says a16 performance is improved and the main reason is because of improvements in thermal management so that seems to be the big reason why we're going to have improved performance we also have the color options laid out here so iphone 14 green purple blue black white and red and the pros are gonna come in green purple silver gold and graphite he says the storage space is the same as the iphone 13 series starting from 128 so we've heard rumors back and forth as to if the storage is going to start at 256 but he seems to think that it's going to start at 128. the iphone 14 will also support 30 watt wired fast charging for the first time in the series however there is no change in wireless charging speeds the magnetic force for magsafe is stronger and he's also expecting to see a magsafe exclusive battery accessory so maybe a new magsafe charger and then he says that prices may be in a completely different direction than expected so i'm not sure how to interpret that maybe they're going to be even higher than we expected maybe more than 100 of an increase for the pros we'll have to wait and see and then he finishes off by saying that battery life should be better but not by much so those are a lot of rumors to process but they all seem i mean pretty realistic to me nothing too surprising in those leaks and i would not be surprised to see really most of them come true and then moving on to the controversial pill cut out of the iphone 14 pro we now know how that's going to look when the screen of the iphone is turned on and it looks completely different than when the phone is turned off so according to mac rumors the discrete pill and hole cutouts are not visually separated when the display is powered on but in fact appear as one contiguous longer pill shape and you can see that this is what it's going to look like and this report was later corroborated by mark german who said this on twitter this is true it looks like one wide pill-shaped cutout having that separation would look odd during use and i think this is going to be kind of more practical and even look better than most people think and this is pretty much guaranteed to happen by the way since mark german and mac rumors both pretty much said it's happening and then let's talk about how the long rumored iphone 14 max is probably not going to be the actual name of the iphone 14 max so we've heard for a long time that there's going to be a larger sized iphone this year that is not going to be a pro model so basically instead of a mini iphone there's going to be a plus sized iphone and we've been hearing the name iphone 14 max really since we started talking about the iphone 14 in general so now we're getting leaks and rumors pointing to the name actually being iphone 14 plus instead of max and this came from twitter user tommyboy who shared an alleged image of an iphone 14 plus case from apple so this can obviously be photoshopped but i mean i think this makes sense i think 14 plus sounds way better than 14 max and this would actually be the first time since the iphone 8 that apple has used the plus moniker for an iphone but i can see it happening and actually i think it makes a lot more sense than naming it max which is a you know name that apple has kind of always reserved for the top spec and the top camera iphone and you can see that this was my initial reaction on twitter earlier this week and i still feel that way right now but i'm still curious as to which one you guys think it's going to be do you think it's going to be the iphone 14 max or do you think it's going to be the iphone 14 plus or do you think it's not going to be either do you think it's going to be iphone 14 6.7 let me know your thoughts down there in those comments and then we also have an update on the iphone 14 pro camera system via ming chi quo so he reported that it's going to feature a new ultra wide camera with a larger sensor for better low-light capabilities but that the technology used is going to lead to a cost increase he said this i predict two iphone 14 pro models ultra wide cameras will upgrade to 1.4 micrometers versus iphone 13 pro's 1.0 the new technology making this possible will have a significant unit price increase with about 70 45 and 40 percent so basically better cameras higher costs these are just the specifics of what we already broadly knew about the 14 pro models now moving on to the apple watch the all-new apple watch pro that's expected to be announced next week is rumored to have a 47 millimeter case size with a flat display and this report comes from japanese site makatakara who said the quote all new design apple watch will have a flat display in a metal housing like the iphone 13 pro and will be 47 millimeters in size so we've been going back and forth on whether or not we're gonna have a flat display on this apple watch pro and it's going to be interesting to see what apple actually does here because it's really been kind of 50 50 both ways so we do know for sure pretty much that a more rugged bigger apple watch is coming as a separate variation of the series eight we just don't know for sure if it's gonna have those flat edges like the iphone 13 series and presumably the iphone 14 series as well and then moving on to the upcoming m2 macbook pros mark german just recently said that the m2 pro and m2 max chips are quote well into development and that they can still be released as early as this fall now of course they can get pushed back due to supply chain issues but as we know from the previous episode mass production of these macbooks will begin in the fourth quarter so i would say that there's a pretty good chance we're gonna get those m2 macbook pros this year and then i talked about this before but now the payments are actually starting to go out and what i'm referring to is the huge 95 million dollar apple care lawsuit against apple so this lawsuit was filed several years

looks like it's going to be 14.45 per device but hey it's free money so go claim it and speaking of the law there's a secret tool that is i guess not so secret now that allows law enforcement to conduct mass surveillance without a search warrant by using app data from your iphone so according to a recent report from the associated press quote law enforcement agencies from southern california to north carolina have been using an obscure cell phone tracking tool at times without search warrants that gives them the power to follow people's movements months back in time and they do this with a tool called fog reveal which gets advertising identification numbers from apps like starbucks and waze and from that they can see targeted ads based on a person's location and interests the tool was from a company called fog data science and they purchased raw geolocation data from around 250 million devices collected by tens of thousands of applications then they aggregated it into a searchable database containing quote billions of data points so chances are your data is probably in there too unfortunately but this is yet another reason why it's such a big deal that apple came out with you know disabling app tracking so if you go into your settings here and they go into your privacy and security and then to tracking you want to make sure to turn this off for applications that collect data like that and then finally let's talk about how hoarding and new iphones would have been a better investment than the stock market at least how it's looking this year and i say that because a new sealed iphone 2g the original iphone just sold at auction for over 35 000 dollars and here's the listing of the completed auction and you can see this is the rare non itunes store version which is the early batch of iphone 2gs they all shipped out without the itunes store on there because it didn't exist so yeah just imagine if you hoarded 100 of these iphones back in 2007 you'd be sitting real pretty but this is crazy 35k for a sealed iphone 2g but anyways guys there you have it that is the latest batch of apple news from this past week along with some additional updates on ios 12 and ios 16. so i hope you guys are excited for next week i am extremely excited for the apple event and everything let me know your thoughts down there in the comments below if you're looking forward to it and just your thoughts overall if you enjoyed this video as always i would really appreciate it if you give it a thumbs up i know these apple weekly episodes are really fun to make i know you guys

know disabling app tracking so if you go into your settings here and they go into your privacy and security and then to tracking you want to make sure to turn this off for applications that collect data like that and then finally let's talk about how hoarding and new iphones would have been a better investment than the stock market at least how it's looking this year and i say that because a new sealed iphone 2g the original iphone just sold at auction for over 35 000 dollars and here's the listing of the completed auction and you can see this is the rare non itunes store version which is the early batch of iphone 2gs they all shipped out without the itunes store on there because it didn't exist so yeah just imagine if you hoarded 100 of these iphones back in 2007 you'd be sitting real pretty but this is crazy 35k for a sealed iphone 2g but anyways guys there you have it that is the latest batch of apple news from this past week along with some additional updates on ios 12 and ios
